...away those dress-for-success books. Forget the management mystique. The key to thriving in the corporate jungle is understanding dinosaurs. So say Albert Bernstein, a clinical psychologist in Portland, Ore., and Sydney Craft Rozen, a former English instructor at Clark College in Vancouver, Wash. In Dinosaur Brains (John Wiley; $18.95) they examine the prehistoric reptile that lurks inside every employee like an evolutionary time bomb. Beneath that fragile fabric of reason called human intelligence, they argue, beats a powerful engine of lizard logic that demands instant gratification and lives to dominate.

Louis Ford, Robinson's father, went to watch his son play in Seattle, Wash., thanks to a group of local business leaders, who funded his trip. Yeah, real serious stuff, here...
...pull one ad--at least wash our hands of I percent of the problem we face? Because the selective barring of ads merely highlights our hypocrisy. At the same time Eastern Airlines is being struck, workers are picketing Shawmut Bank--a frequent Crimson advertiser--for its ties to a union-busting firm now hurting thousands of striking Appalachian coal miners. Are these workers any less oppressed than Eastern strikers and any less worthy of our political notice...
